Ask HN: What do you use to monitor site uptime?
Title says it all. Basically just looking for a dead simple way of monitoring a webserver that will alert me when it's not responding.
I realize there are a number of services out there but currious what people are using these days.
- limist 16y agoThis is old, from the Web 1.0 world and inspired by Philip Greenspun's book "Database-Backed Web Sites" but it's dead-simple and it works: http://uptime.openacs.org/uptime/ http://uptime.openacs.org/uptime/ Oh, and it's free too.
- mhansen 16y agoDead simple, you can't get much simpler than http://wasitup.com/ http://wasitup.com/ Three form fields. Click submit. Done. It's been monitoring my blog for the last six months
- charliepark 16y agoI use http://wasitup.com http://wasitup.com and the free version of http://pingdom.com http://pingdom.com. Both seem to work well, although Pingdom has the advantage of a monthly summary.

I also use http://scoutapp.com http://scoutapp.com , which has saved my bacon when the problems were a little more nuanced then "the home page fails to return HTTP 200." Well worth the $20 a month if you've got a web application with paying users, in my opinion.
- sunkencity 16y agoI use nagios, and for some rails projects I use rpm (but i'm not terribly impressed with rpm), might be more worth it when we get more traffic.
